Private Surf lessons in Santa Teresa Beach

Great surf / great people !

Just had the best time and the best advises! Bernal took us to exactly the right spot with swell and tide conditions We are doing it again for sure.

Super team and learning method for beggingers

Super team of instructors !! Very cool with the kids (boys 9 & 7) who now love the surf with no limit ! The rest of the members of the shop are available and manage and arrange all lessons with our needs. Great experience. Thanks particular to Mariela, Camille, Harrold, Sasha and Danny

Best in Town

these guys are the absolute best in town! the surf instructors are amazing; and the staff in the store are incredibly warm and friendly!! They truly made my stay in Santa Teresa feel like home :)

Great first surfing experience!!

Amazing surf lesson! The instructor was very specific when explaining about the surfboard parts; as well as the different methods to start our surfing journey. Out instructor Sammy was perfectly spoken in both Spanish and English, so for us as a mixed language couple it was perfectly balanced. He will cheer you on and high five you all across the lesson, as well as suggesting things for you to improve after each attempt. Great vibes 🤙🏼

Best 1st surf lesson ever!!!

We took our first lesson ever with Sammy & Ryan and we will never forget this experience. It was amazing we had zero experience and walked away with having caught some wicked waves. If you have never taken a lesson before this is the place to go. Our instructors were patient and explained everything in great detail and helped us unlock our inner surfer. Can’t wait to return for more lessons on our next trip back out to Costa Rica.

Best surf/rental shop in Santa Teresa

Couldn’t recommend this place more. All of the staff went out of their way to help us, even giving us lift back to the hostel. Ian organised us renting an ATV and surf lessons and is a credit to the shop. I’ve had a few surf lessons from different instructors at different shops. However, Harold David was by far the best getting the most out of us during the lesson !! An all round great team at the shop and would definitely visit if in Santa Teresa again.

Atv Rental

Atv rental was great. I was staying up the road and they delivered the atv right to the doorstep. It was semi automatic and the guy that was there taught me how to operate it. Easy peasy. They are well maintained quads that you get. no complaints at all. If it doesnt rain for the next few days i will be back to grab another.

The Best Rentals in Town

These guys are the best in town! They rent boards without dings and dents for a very reasonable price, and you don’t have to worry that they will give you a bad board. Not only that, but they are the coolest guys in town and give really great surf lessons. If you want to learn to surf, they do great lessons with fun and cool and nice coaches. If you come to Santa Teresa and want to learn to surf, or you already know how and want a quality board, you must come to this shop

Good instructors and even better vibe

Amazing class with Jefferson today. He was very professional, we felt safe at all times, and he gave us good method to work and get better at surfing as beginners. Him and his crew were also very fun and extremely pleasant to interact with. We had a blast, highly recommend. Pura Vida Jefferson!

Amazing time to surf

Steven is a great surf instructor. Very professional to tell the conditions, keen to teach. He always bring me to the right spot in the suitable time and help me to catch as much good waves as possible and deal with hard conditions. It was so fun to surf with him for the week and learned a lot. And the surf shop provide a range of surfboard with quite good quality. I can always get one that suit me in a good way and try different. Really appreciate for the amazing sessions :)

10/10

Jefferson was the best teacher ever! Couldn’t recommend his lessons and team more. 10/10, would do again. Thank you so much

I did a lesson private and with my friend, both were amazing. The instructors are so profesional and nice.

We had such a good time doing this. The company is so nice helps you out with everything and very good teaches! It was so beautiful and so much fun !

Amazing surf lessons

Absolute favorite surf lessons I’ve taken ever. Jefferson is an AMAZING instructor. He has such calm, easy energy that I felt so confident in the waves. He is super patient and instructs in a way that is easy to understand and allows for quick progress. Him and the other instructors at Santa Teresa extreme are also just a ton of fun to surf with. Loved afternoon lessons at cabuya beach. Seriously if you’re looking for surf lessons in Santa Teresa you won’t find a better company to go with or better teacher than Jefferson.

Awesome Surf lessons and hassle free rentals.

My 8 yr daughter had lessons with Jefferson (as part of a private group lesson with two other kids with Sammy) and I cannot say enough good things. It was afternoon sideshore low tide and there was some swell but that didn’t phase either of them! My daughter was up and riding on a soft top every wave, ok foamie:) towards the end of the session he had her trying to turn left. She’s a goofy footer. Lots of fun was had and I could tell the patience and instruction was working! Afterwards He climbed a palm tree, brought down half a dozen cocos and proceeded to give a masterclass on how to open a coconut and drink the juice. Not sure if the kiddos were more excited about that or the surf lesson!! All in all the experience was excellent and I never once doubted the safety of my daughter. We ended up renting a board for her and a bodyboard for my son. My daughter really wants to surf now! Thank you Santa Teresa Extreme for your great local vibe and friendliness. We also rented Atv’s through them- initially just for the day which ended up being all week! Great Atv’s and Andres was super friendly and flexible, we kept on adding days. They also carry gas if you need to refill as there are no gas stations in town. They are very transparent with pricing and payment options too. When we go back I will absolutely go back to Santa Teresa extreme. Pura vida!

Good explanations and quick learning

The surflesson with Steven was so much fun and I learned a lot. Even that I just took 2 lessons. I would definitely have taken more lessons if I had more time.

Inpatient and aggressive instructor

based on our experience, this is not a service we recommend to others. My wife and I got the beginner surf lessons in January 2023 and below are the pluses and minuses: Negatives: Our instructor, Steven, was good in the theory and explanation part, but so aggressive and inpatient when it came to real practice. Imagine this is your absolute first time learning surfing, and after the very first time going on the waves and making a mistake, he gets aggressive and wastes your time by irrelevant speeches like this is your time and your money, you should do better, you should do what I say etc!! It was a truly uncomfortable experience and I was really close to get back at him and end the lesson, but tolerated. we got to try only 3-4 waves with him! Also, we had to carry our boards from their shop to the beach and back. Not only it was inconvenient, but also they counted the first leg as part of our time which was around 15-20 minutes!! Positives: they let you keep the board to practice after the lesson. They also provide coconut water after the session.

Wildly fun in the rain!

Issac/Kali/Daniel are great teachers and had such enthusiasm even in the pouring rain! They are very patient and will make sure you get un that wave. Highly recommend if looking for really great teachers who know what they’re doing! Thank you!
